You appear to be describing West Virginia - the mountain region of the slave-state of Virginia, that did not want to secede.

After Virginia seceded, these western counties organised their own secession from Virginia, and joined the Union.

I don't know whether they had to give up slavery in order to do so, but I would guess that Lincoln was ready to welcome them as a Northern slave-state, along with Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware, who were not banned from slave-holding for the duration of hostilities.
